Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Lift

An upper eyelid lift treats excess skin along the upper lid. Treating upper lid sagging can provide a significant improvement for patients with severe ptosis. An incision is placed in the natural crease of the upper lid. In some cases, fat may be removed or redistributed around the upper eye. It is important that not too much fat is removed from around the eye because this can create a hollow eyelid appearance.

Lower Eyelid Lift

A lower eyelid lift treats prominent fat pockets and excess skin in the lower eyelid. In cases where excess skin isn’t an issue, a transconjunctival approach is used that places all incisions inside the lower eyelids. Fat can be released from the lower eyelid and repositioned to reduce puffiness or restore volume as needed. Patients who require excess skin to be removed will need an incision just below the waterline of the lower lid. Through this incision, excess skin is trimmed away.

Combining Facial Procedures

There are many factors that cause facial aging. Many patients who have problems around their eyes will also find that they have drooping brows. If left untreated, heavy brows can hang down and obscure your appearance. A brow lift may be combined with your blepharoplasty to provide the best, longest-lasting results possible. Some patients may also choose to combine a facelift with their blepharoplasty for total facial rejuvenation. Dr. Davison will suggest the best combination of procedures during your consultation.
